Setting up WiFi in a DVC room

[kbmum]

We're going to be staying at Kidani Village this weekend. I'd like to set up WiFi in my DVC room so I can have Internet access through my iTouch. I have a portable D-Link pocket router. Does anyone know if this will work?

I know there are even pocket wifi routers that are really small. This one a friend uses and its about the size of a blackberry.

That's the one I have. But if the hotel resets the connection every 24 hours, will the main page with the agreement pop up on my iTouch? I don't want to bring my laptop.

I just bought the iTouch, so I'm not all that familiar with it. My concern is that I won't get the login screen and therefore won't have WiFi access.

Just open Safari, the web browser on the Touch. You should see the login screen there.

Yes, it will pop up every 24 hours. I know your pain on not wanting to bring a laptop. I started traveling with one of these. They're about the size of a DVD case.

That looks pretty good.

I'm using that setup right now and it's working great. Thanks for all of the help!
